Mother Of Pearl & Damascus Pattern Tanto Blade Folding Pocket Knife

I BOUGHT THIS POCKET KNIFE FOR MYSELF AND I LOVE IT ITS NOT TO BIG AND ITS GOT A NICE HEAVY BLADE. The knife is a good looking knife and nice and heavy blade. The pocket clip is very solid and the handle is very nice looking. My friends first see it and want to look at it closely. I bought about 12 knifes from BUDK AND MY STEP SON JUST LOVED ALL OF THEM He collects knifes and said that these would be on display in his home.

This beautiful looking Tanto is an awesome addition as a daily 'pocket knife'. The Imitation Damascus is realistic looking enough that you would really need to check it out closely to see the difference from a real Damascus steel knife. The spring action on the open is FAST and needs very little effort to extend the blade, BUT (and the reason I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars) there isn't enough force to lock the blade open every time - It doesn't take much more to give it that little push to make sure it's locked open, but it would be nicer to have the confidence that it'll lock EVERY time. (Personally, I've practiced with it to make sure I put a little flick of the wrist into it to lock it, and so far no issues.) Sharper than s*** (and after I had it honed at Bass Pro it's literally razor-sharp!). The Mother of Pearl looks really nice, the grip feels comfortable - Overall I am REALLY happy with this knife, especially for the price. I would consider buying one of each (different grip colors/insets). Short story long - A REALLY good pickup for under $20!!!
